Ingredients
Instructions
-
Wash the wild garlic leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Remove any tough stems and roughly chop the leaves.
-
In a dry pan over low heat, toast the pine nuts until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be sure to keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly.
-
In a food processor, combine the wild garlic leaves, toasted pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, peeled garlic clove, and lemon juice. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
-
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto reaches your desired consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined.
-
Season the Barlauchpesto with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
-
Transfer the pesto to a clean jar or airtight container, and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze the pesto in ice cube trays and then transfer the frozen cubes to a freezer bag.
